Sound
:
8
This guitar sounds really nice and bright on all strings. It has a full voice though I have heard better ones in higher price ranges. I like the sound really. I like to play romantic classical pieces and really looking for a bright and soft sound, this guitar really gets close.
However, there is a buzzing or rather something else but similar in sound coming under the bridge when the E (6th chord) is played on open string. I took the guitar back to the shop but we could not figure out the reason, it is not due to the string or something obvious, and the buzzing becomes higher when open E chord is played with E on D string at the second house. This was also a problem in aprevious review. I will be playing the guitar for couple days more and see whether it continues.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

I prefer high action because sometimes i like to make apoyando-like hit on bass strings which would make a fret-buzz if the action is low. This guitar has just the right action I wanted, not low but still easy to play. Finish is nice, I have played some satin finish guitars which also sounded great.

I have bought it today (though played it in the store, going several times, trying different guitars in dfferent shops and coming back to taht particular shop again to try to compare the sound in my mind) but it seems durable.

The people in the shop I bought the guitar are really helpful. I do not know about Aria though or warranty.

I have been playing for a week, we may say. I used to have a Yamaha CG 130 but I have not been laying that guitar for a while so ni comparison is possible.
The first reason I bought his guitar is its price. If I had $20000 in my pocket I do not know which guitar would I buy. Everybody has a price range to pay and I think this is the first determinant of what you are going to buy. Especially if you have a low range. Then you should try to find the guitar that satisfies you the most.
